Lower your head,
Everything’s said
We’ll stay late until the sun is in sight
I wasn’t quite right
The bull was uptight
I was lost
I was unraveling fast
Oh I’m still invited
To the thoughts that you hold
To the grudges you hold
Well we’re clinging to the edge of this
Love we want to build here for long
But now where do we go?
What’s left to show?
You had a flowery dress
I had a powdery mess
Something we could dissolve
I miss you so
I hear the wind
Of the season we dreamed
We were lost, we were the traveling ones
I blew away
The rubble you made
I was asking way out of this scheme
Oh am I still invited
To the thoughts that you hold
To the grudges you hold
And you’re clinging to a river now, howl until you bite into love
Unfound or trailing there low
Will you behold
I’ve got the willowing words,
I’ve surveyed polls from your heart
I know I’ll leave exposed,
I should be bold, I should be bold.

Lion's Home
04:12
|
|||
First time I came back from the bush
I saw a great big lion
I ran, I almost screamed
But I knew, I had to stand still
Sleepy, the lion didn’t budge
Lost into the darkness, I tried to find my way
Lost under the darkness, I tried to find my way
I wandered, I wandered and I suddenly stumbled over
Hmm…nanana
Up! the lion soon awoke, and I could hear it panting
Surely he heard me falling
Oh I know it’s gonna find me, I guess this could be my end
So when it’s dark out, beware don’t go out all by yourself
Respect the lion’s home
Don’t enter the lion’s home
And if you wish to trek, don’t let your dreams guide you past your nest
Respect the lion’s home
Don’t enter through the lion’s home
Mommy, mommy, how much I’d like to be home
So close to you my darling,
Oh how I’ve missed you, I’ve been a sad boy
Leaping from a rock, I stopped to respite
Glancing past the trees, my home was near
I followed my desire and rushed back to my home
I followed my desire and rushed back to my home
To be with you again, to be with you my mother
To be with you again, to be with you my mother
Na…na… na…na…na

Buried Shame
02:59
|

Flee, my friend, go ahead
You’ll be off in a snap
You’ll lay your feet in cold ocean sap
The coldest ocean sap
You’ve been standing still for way too many nights
Your mind has bowed to many different types
To many different types
Bear the open wind
Bear the whistle blows
Bear the open wind
Bear the whistle blows
Friendly calls will awake you in the lavish halls
You’ll clearly remember
You’ll clearly remember what had been your fall…
Oh what had been your fall
Reefs of snow will await you here
Outside the house, the one you chose
The one you had to close
I’m sure you’ll bring back sun
You’ll sing louder and hum
This song you wrote, the one on which you choked
The one on which you choked
And blink no more, the light
The light will flood your shores, your darkened eyes,
Your hazy sunrise, your hazy sunrise
Don’t refrain from trying the outcome of your game
You’ll soon become
The actor of your fame
The burier of your of your shame

Girl
04:51
|

I swallowed up my grievance
I was tired before fighting
An underlying remain
Of some stupid remorse
I challenged you to a race
You put your money on a mule
You'll pay this dearly, my friend
Success cannot be for fools
Girl, you need me
Girl, you need me
Got a handful of luck, I shouldered my way into you
You didn't think highly of me, I felt entitled to you
At the helm of your age, you were brewing melancholia
I didn't notice at first you dreamt of pushing a stroller
Girl, you need me
Your jabs were vicious at first, I had nowhere to duck and hide
My skin was softer then, now I got a leathery hide
You wan to change my thoughts, you want to make me become faster,
But I ‘ve got nowhere to go and I do one thing at a time
Girl, you need me

Morning Love
02:40
|
|||
Tearing my new sweater with my morning, with my morning love
Heavy burden, hoping I was staying with this morning love
Never fell for treason, never shouted for a morning love
Ain’t got magic, but the magic is this morning love
The fever has been growing like I told it to my morning love
Ain’t got magic, I’ll be spending on my morning love
Have you ever mounted in the morning any morning love?
Ain’t got fever in the morning, I got my morning love
Believing
Hushing
Pulsing
Seething
Digging
Hunting
Whispering
Speeding
Never told a mayor about the feelings of a morning love
I ran past Timmy cause he’s getting rid of morning love
Pull her down and rest her on the ground with a morning love
Ain’t got money, I’ll be spending on my morning love
Could have been a bigger heart, could have been a morning love?
Won’t be waiting for the ending of this morning love
The fever has been growing like I told it to my morning love
Ain’t got money, but I’ll be spending on my morning love
Panting
Frantic
Ecstatic
Her lipstick
Wrestling
Biting
Mingling
A craving

Reverie
02:44
|
|||
I’m singing atop all the woodroofs that block out the sunshine
The notes fall like drops the Gods had ordered to stop celebrating
I didn’t understand then
I didn’t often laugh then
Earlier I sat over landmines you’d stacked for the centuries
You poured me a glass, you were patient to ask why this envy?
I didn’t understand then
I didn’t often laugh then
Except the night with you
You reached out for love,
I was holding your truth
Your hand was soft and thin
You cured my affliction
The rest was a dream
Do I still respond?
I won’t be your scar
I won’t be at war
I still do recall
The strength of it all
Your face tipped my soul
On the brink of the longest
Of November colds
And yet you broke my heart
With a burgeoning start
You were eager to scold

Missing you
01:52
|
|||
Somebody called me last week
I couldn’t remember why
He wished me a happy new year
Told him I couldn’t, my emotions were dry
Well I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I’ve been missing you like apple pie
The birds sing your name in verses
I try to respond in time
I imagine our love rehearses
Before we get back and kiss in the vines
WelI miss you, I miss you, I miss you,
I’ve been missing you like snowballs getting bigger as the days roll on
The sun was aware that I was to dare
Approaching to call you
Imagining you wholly
A summery body
Entranced by our story
I Wish I’d eat a petal of you
Chasing famous dead people
I caught a glimpse of your smile
I know it’s just barely legal
But I stole a flower from Oscar Wilde
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I’ve been missing I’ve been missing you like poems, like the blue leaves in your garden
I’ve been missing you like midnight snow

Tumbling
02:40
|
|||
You know I never never dreamed you’d come by
You know I never never let you set fire
Playing by the rules
I was thinking about you
Didn’t care for any body building
Turned the keys and let the engine rolling
You were asking for the truth
I’ve been thinking about you
Tumbling and tumbling and tumbling and tumble, tumble low
Tumbling and tumbling and tumble, tumble low
Tumble low
Like a siren in a daycare center
Like a guest into my country manor
You were begging for a room
I’ve been thinking about you
Saw a cardinal on the ceiling
It was a devilish type of feeling
You were wrong about the view
I was looking at you
And I firmly believed you were like satan
Your sweat fell to the floor like Chinese curtains
You slid your way back on the floor
Never never never never asked for more
Tumbling and tumbling, and tumbling and tumble, tumble low
Tumble low
And through the loophole of your wildest manners
I was kind of feeling boiling over
I was wrong about the view
I was thinking about you
It took me moments to absorb your senses
You were a Cadillac in the bushes
I was running for a clue
I’ve been thinking about you
I was wrong about the view, I was thinking about you

Silent Frames
03:13
|

Stack the folding chairs
And untie your hair
Just step right up, yeah
Blur the breaded tracks
Every time you catch a glimpse of her
I can’t find your bellyless mind
It don’t make me kind
The soul I met
Was some waterless sweat
It don’t make me whine
Hey, the silent frames, they all seem so vain, what could they say?
Flights of lazy birds follow your curbs, what could they say?
I can’t find your bellyless mind
It don’t make me kind
My soul cuts loose
Like some southern juice
It won’t make me climb, climb, climb
Baby, I can’t believe your smile
Honey, I think our bodies rhyme
Baby, I can’t believe your smile
Honey, I think out bodies rhyme
I can’t find your bellyless mind
It don’t make me kind
The soul I met
Was some waterless sweat
It don’t make me climb, climb, climb!

Stranded Tonight
03:21
|
|||
We were going down the old canal together
We were going where the sun would set
I know you’re running through my head
Stung me early with your fast disclosure
Did you see I was a wounded soldier
I know you’re running through my head
I’ll figure out in the morning if I
I’ll figure out in the morning if I stay
Wanted nothing but a week alone with you
Wanted nothing but the smell of pine and dew
I know you’re running through my head
You were acting like you had a heart attack
I was hoping you would be alright
I know you’re running through my head
When I touched you I was mesmerized
When I kissed you, I couldn’t hold the prize
And I fear you, fear you, fear you, fear you
I’ll fight the lion when he comes
And I’ll heal you, heal you, heal you now
I’ll fight the lion when he roams
I’ll fight the lion when he roams
I’ll figure out in the morning if I
I’ll figure out in the morning if I failed
And I fear you, fear you, fear you, fear you
I’ll fight the lion when he roams
And I’ll heal you, heal you, heal you now
I’ll fight the lion when he comes
I’ll fight the lion when he comes
When you say it was by default
Would you say it was all my fault?
Would you say it was all my fault?

Feathership Montreal, Québec
Feathership is the moniker for Jean-Philippe Sauvé’s musical project. First assembled as a six-piece indie-rock band that
was for a brief moment the most talked-about rookie act from Montreal, Feathership eventually morphed into a more personal and subdued affair, putting Sauvé’s delicate songsmith abilities to the forefront, notably on 2020’s The West Side EP.
